Fire

 

Early hominins learned to harness the power of fire.

 

Cooking food made it more nutritious, easier to chew and digest, and killed harmful parasites. The increased nutrition in cooked food contributed to brain development and growth. Fire protected hominins from predators, and helped them to flush out prey.

 

Fire also produced light and warmth, which made days longer, winters more bearable, and facilitated social interaction.
